The patch looks good to me.  I must say it's not completely clear from
the manual what the intended semantics of the nonblocking file-lock
procedure are.  I guess if another process has the file locked, we
simply error out with "cannot lock file"?

If that behavious is inteneded, please apply the signed-off version
attached.
